<p>In collaboration with MPB and the Bitcoin Beach, El Salvador’s Ministry of Education intends to launch the official Bitcoin curriculum, dubbed “My First Bitcoin,” for its students to access and avail. Upon completing the diploma, the students will be entitled to an official diploma certifying their Bitcoin learnings and expertise.</p> 
<p>The pilot diploma program is set to launch on September 7 and includes a systematic schedule for teachers to gain critical Bitcoin knowledge. The Bitcoin Diploma program will initially be taught to 150 teachers from 75 schools to help them understand the basics of Bitcoin and its foundational concepts. Speaking about the official Bitcoin diploma program, John Dennehy, the founder of MPB, shared that if successful, the program will be available in every school from next year onward.</p>

<p>El Salvador has long been a staunch proponent of Bitcoin. The country was among the first to adopt BTC as a legal tender, compelling other nations to take the lead in acknowledging Bitcoin as a credible digital payment option.</p> 
<p>In November 2022, El Salvador’s president, Bukele, announced its decision to purchase one <a href="https://tokenist.com/el-salvador-resorts-to-dca-as-bitcoin-investment-down-60/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">bitcoin</a> daily to strengthen its reserves and boost the nation’s financial prospects. In May 2022, Bukele made another announcement, sharing how he is keen on launching a <a aria-label="smart city based on Bitcoin (opens in a new tab)" href="https://tomorrow.city/a/crypto-city-el-salvador" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">smart city based on Bitcoin</a> to lead the global cryptocurrency adoption drive. Funded by Bitcoin-based bonds, the city is set to develop in Conchagua, near Conchagua Volcano in El Salvador.</p>
